Message delivery assembly and a method for conducting business using the message delivery assembly

Abstract

A message delivery assembly ( 10 ) and a method for conducting business ( 400 ) using the message delivery assembly ( 10 ) which has an exterior ( 12 ) in the shape of a Teddy-bear or substantially any other desired shape. Particularly, the message delivery assembly ( 10 ) includes a containment cavity ( 40 ) which frictionally receives a generally hollow cylinder ( 50 ) which is selectively lockable within the containment cavity ( 40 ) by use of a key ( 70 ), and which contains a personal message ( 90 ) from a user which is delivered to an intended recipient in a relatively secure and convenient manner.

1. An assembly comprising:
 a body having a containment cavity; 
 a generally hollow cylinder which is selectively inserted into and frictionally fit with said containment cavity; 
 a message which is removably inserted into said cylinder; and 
 a member which is selectively coupled to said cylinder and which is effective to selectively lock said generally hollow cylinder within said containment cavity and selectively remove said generally hollow cylinder from said containment cavity, wherein said containment cavity further comprises a first magnet utilizing a negative magnetic pole, and wherein said generally hollow cylinder further comprises a second magnet utilizing a positive magnetic pole, said first magnet attracting said second magnet, thereby causing said generally hollow cylinder to be removably contained within said containment cavity. 
 
   
   
     2. The assembly of  claim 1  wherein said containment cavity further comprises at least one inwardly projecting fastening tab. 
   
   
     3. The assembly of  claim 2  wherein said generally hollow cylinder further comprises at least one outwardly projecting fastening tab, said outwardly projecting fastening tab cooperating with said inwardly projecting fastening tab to selectively and removably couple said cylinder within said containment cavity. 
   
   
     4. The assembly of  claim 1  wherein said cylinder further comprises a locking assembly. 
   
   
     5. The assembly of  claim 4  wherein said member is a key and wherein said key further comprises a first end and a second end which is heart shaped. 
   
   
     6. The assembly of  claim 5  wherein said locking assembly cooperates with said first end of said a key to allow access to said message. 
   
   
     7. An assembly comprising:
 a body having a containment cavity; 
 a generally hollow cylinder which is selectively inserted into and frictionally fit with said containment cavity; 
 a message which is removably inserted into said cylinder; and 
 
     a member which is selectively coupled to said cylinder and which is effective to selectively lock said generally hollow cylinder within said containment cavity and selectively remove said generally hollow cylinder from said containment cavity, wherein said cylinder further comprises:
 a first half having a first closed end and a second opened and threaded end; and 
 a second half having a first closed end and a second opened and threaded end, said second open threaded end of said second half cooperating with said second open threaded end of said first half, effective to selectively and removably couple said first half to said second half. 
 
   
   
     8. A message delivery assembly comprising:
 a body which is shaped as a bear, said body having a head portion, a torso portion, a pair of arms, and a pair of legs, said torso portion having a containment cavity which extends from between said pair of legs to the center of said torso portion; 
 a generally hollow cylinder which is removably inserted into said containment cavity, said generally hollow cylinder having a first and second half, wherein said cylinder is inserted within and wholly contained and hidden within said cavity and selectively removed from said cavity only through an anus portion of said bear, 
 a locking assembly which selectively and removably contains said generally hollow cylinder within said containment cavity; and 
 a message which is removably inserted into said generally hollow cylinder. 
 
   
   
     9. The message delivery assembly of  claim 8  wherein said locking assembly comprises a key having a first end which cooperates with said locking assembly to allow removal of said generally hollow cylinder from said containment cavity and a second end of a certain shape. 
   
   
     10. The message delivery assembly of  claim 9  wherein a second end of said key is heart shaped. 
   
   
     11. The message delivery assembly of  claim 9  wherein said generally hollow cylinder further comprises at least one outwardly projecting fastening tab, and wherein said containment cavity further comprises at least one inwardly projecting fastening tab which frictionally couples to said outwardly projecting fastening tab of said cylinder, effective to removably couple said cylinder to said cavity. 
   
   
     12. A message delivery assembly comprising:
 a body which is shaped as a bear, said body having a head portion, a torso portion, a pair of arms, and a pair of legs, said torso portion having a containment cavity which extends from between said pair of legs to the center of said torso portion; 
 a generally hollow cylinder which is removably inserted into said containment cavity, said generally hollow cylinder having a threaded aperture, a threaded aperture cover which cooperates with said threaded aperture, and a locking assembly; 
 a message which is removably inserted into said generally hollow cylinder through said threaded aperture; 
 a key comprising a first end which cooperates with said locking assembly to allow removal of said generally hollow cylinder from said containment cavity and a second end of a certain shape; and
 a fastening assembly which selectively and removably holds said key to said torso portion, and wherein said fastening assembly comprises a heart shaped patch having a ribbon which is sewn onto said heart shaped patch and which is effective to securingly contain said key, said heart shaped patch being sewn onto said torso portion.
